England edge out Brazil in penalty shootout to win Finalissima at Wembley - 6 talking points

England won the inaugural women's Finalissima on a dramatic penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw over 90 minutes at Wembley.

Substitute Chloe Kelly, who scored the goal that won the Euros last summer, fired home the winning spot kick after misses from Tamires and Arsenal defender Rafaelle. The Lionesses made it 30 games unbeaten in front of 83,142 supporters and looked to have won it in normal time thanks to Ella Toone's first half goal.

But Andressa Alves struck in the 93rd minute after Mary Earps spilled a cross to send the game to a penalty shootout and spark wild celebrations amongst the Brazilian fans.
